Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 1.5 cups Coconut yogurt
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 Green chilies, slit
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 3 cups Cooked white or brown rice
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, coconut yogurt, water, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps.
In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and fenugreek seeds. Let them crackle for a few seconds.
Add asafoetida, curry leaves, grated ginger, and green chilies to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the spices release their aroma.
Pour the chickpea flour and yogurt mixture into the pot. Stir continuously to avoid lumps and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the curry thickens to your desired consistency.
Adjust seasoning if needed after tasting. The curry should be savory with a hint of spiciness.
Serve the dairy-free kari hot over a bed of cooked white or brown rice for a complete meal.
